Human beings perform holozoic nutrition.
Holozoic nutrition is the type of nutrition that takes place in organisms that take solid or liquid food inside their body.
This process is done in five steps: Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, and Egestion.
Ingestion means Intake of food.
Digestion means breaking down food into smaller particles.
Absorption means food taken up by cell (through blood vessels).
Assimilation means food transfer to all cells of the body.
Egestion means the exit of undigested food from the body.
